Quick and Easy Pumpkin Makeover

Fake pumpkins are ready for harvesting at any and all stores! I picked up an off white pumpkin a couple of days ago, planning to use it on my mantel. Once I placed it there, it looked a little drab. It needed some perking up! I could have painted it. I could have stenciled an initial on it. Or, I could use some chevron burlap ribbon that I bought not knowing when it might come in handy.

I decided on the ribbon for a couple of reasons. One, I liked the look of it and two, it was going to be so easy! I cut two strips of ribbon, each one long enough to go around the pumpkin. Hot glue and burlap don’t go together very well, so I wanted to avoid that. A simple solution was to use thumb tacks.

How to Make a Quick and Easy Pumpkin Makeover

1. Fold the ends of the ribbon under and place a thumb tack to hold it in place.

2. Repeat with the second strip of ribbon.

3. To give it a finished look, tie piece of brown ribbon around the stem into a bow.

How easy was that? My Plain Jane pumpkin is now looking great!

Some ribbon, thumb tacks and five minutes of your time is all it takes to change the look of a plain pumpkin.
